Racevisors.co.uk - Rant
 

I am posting on the back of a thread from last week when somebody was looking for a discount code to buy of them. I used the same code to buy of them a pinlock visor with an insert for my AGV Helmet.

I placed my order on Monday 14th and I received on Friday 18th. Opening the envelope I find a NON pinlocked visor ie not drilled. When I placed the order I specifically asked for one already drilled and was told no problem we will send you an already drilled one. Great I thought! Thnx.

It's now Monday after the weekend when I ring to ask that I send it back as it is not drilled for pinlock. Surprise surprise the lady I initially spoke to is not around. So I agree to send it back to be pinlocked.

Called today and the visor has been received BUT the lady on the phone (to whom I spoke on Monday about the return) is asking me for a further £5 for them to pinlock it!!!

Notice how in all the above and in all the conversations I've had with them there is no mention of this charge. I know it's on their site but since I placed the order over the phone and charged over the phone I wasn't advised of it and obviously why should I pay for it??!!

My initial order as placed was not fulfilled and I shouldn't have to pay anything extra. It is not about the £5 it's about the principal behind it. Their mistake yet they fail to admit it and on top knowing that I already have half the package they take advantage of that. I was offered a full refund but that wouldn't give me a pinlock visor now would it?

Obviously calls are not recorded and the lady I placed my order with was for the 2nd week absent....so no way I could have "won" this.

Overall it's a cr@p way of dealing with a customer! Personally I would have done the drilling for free if it was my business! Can't see how it would cost them £5 but hey.....

Rant over!

Sounds iffy, I think I bought my visor from them and that came with pinlock inserts (on purpose) so I could swap it over from my clear/winter visor. It arrived OK but did take a long time (10 days maybe?). Didn't get it wrong but not massively impressed for that reason.

I've bought 3 visors from them (all purposely without pinlok) and I didn't have any problems.

How unusual, 600+ having a rant. :rolleyes: :smt058

doesn't sound too good and is why I like to sort this kind of thing by email. Takes longer but what has been said is proven.

yeap they do send it out by Royal Mail 1st Class so it takes 3-5 working days...not sure which 1st Class option this is really :) must be a special one they have...

well there will be some that had no problems.......question is how many

hey at least there is a reason for ranting lol

Problem with email is most of these companies never check it or it takes ages for them to get back to u

I ordered my stuff over a week ago and it hasn`t arrived as of yet , I mailed them last night enquiring where the order was and Sarah said it was posted on the 21st of April and will be with me shortly . They used to send you a despatch email ages ago telling you it was on it`s way . I think they are more concerned with making their website look snazzy than looking after orders at the moment .

Re: Racevisors.co.uk - Rant
 

surprised with Sarah replying as she was the person I spoke to to place my order but today or last week she was nowhere to be seen....

Re: Racevisors.co.uk - Rant
 

That`s who replied to my email man :D

Re: Racevisors.co.uk - Rant
 

I got 2 visors from them and would recommend them to everyone. BUt I had non pin locks as they are both dark tint. Hope you get it sorted mate!
